...Horizontal Lieutenant (M-G-M). Funnyman Jim Hutton, 26, is an unpolished bean pole (6 ft. 3 in.) who gangles at all angles like the second-string center on a Y.M.C.A. basketball squad, but sputters sourprises like a bright, green Lemmon. Funnywoman Paula Prentiss, 23, is a Texas skyscraper (5 ft. 9¼ in.) who can look slim Jim in the eye without a periscope, and can come on and cut up like a junior-miss Rosalind Russell. If humor were measured in inches, Hutton and Prentiss would be the daffiest double in show business; since...

...Critic Mannes asked, "Why is The Clan worth two hours of valuable air time?" No one knew, and nobody thought of asking her why she had agreed to discuss The Clan in the first place. And so the program lurched toward the murky end. Gleason: "I'm loaded." Lemmon: "I know that." Mannes: "I feel like a deaf mute in a field of hog callers." Joe E. Lewis: "Out of the mouths of babes very often comes-oatmeal...
...Children's Hour, Two for the Seesaw, Irma la Douce, Toys in the Attic, James Michener's Hawaii, and John O'Hara's A Rage to Live. And they have multiple picture deals with dozens of high-density stars such as Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Dean Martin, Jason Robards Jr. and Yul Brynner. "I call them the myriad Mirisches," says Lemmon. "I don't know where they come from, but they are all around. And somehow, we all want to work for them...
